Snoop Dogg is celebrating a major milestone in his personal life.
On Saturday, the legendary rapper and TV personality, 52, celebrated 27 years of marriage with his wife and business manager, Shante Broadus.
'#TwentySeven,' Snoop captioned a couple of photos he shared on Instagram, before tagging his wife, who then shared the same two pictures on her own Instagram page.
The longtime couple, who first met back when they were just teenagers in Los Angeles, even coordinated outfits for their special day by wearing matching pink and white sweatsuits.
For the cover photo the legendary rapper has his right arm wrapped around Broadus, as they both flash big beaming smiles for the camera while out at what appears to be a restaurant.
The Gin And Juice star opted for a sweatsuit that's mostly pink, along with a small section of a darker tone of pink and white.
Showing he's committed to the color theme, Snoop (born Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr.), 52, also wore a pair of darker pink sneakers.
He also wore a matching top that's half pink and half white, and had his long salt-and-pepper locks pulled up into a bun.
The lady in his life went with an all-pink outfit with a pair of open-toe sandals and cool wide-frame sunglasses.
She also sported a bright blue cross-body bag as well as a colorful bandana over her locks.
When the second photo of the couple was taken outside the establishment there appeared to be some people who started to gather and likely snap some photos of their own.
Snoop and Broadus (born Shante Taylor) first met as teenagers when they attended Long Beach Polytechnic High School in the Long Beach neighborhood of Los Angeles.
Their romance even included going to dances and their high school prom together before graduating in 1989.
Snoop would go on to see his star power soar when he collaborated with Dre. Dre on his classic studio album, The Chronic (1992), and again with his debut studio album Doggystyle (1993).
He was a full-fledged hip-hop star by the time he and Broadus decided to tied-the-knot on June 14, 1997.
The ceremony was held at The Ritz Carlton Hotel in the Marina Del Rey neighborhood of Los Angeles. They briefly separated in 2004.
The couple have three kids together: sons Corde, 29, and Cordell, 26, and daughter Cori, 24.
The Drop It Like It's Hot star also has a son Julian, 25, from a previous relationship with Laurie Helmond.
Snoop decided to make his wife his official business manager in June 2021.
Her role includes expanding and overseeing his various business ventures 'across the cannabis, spirits, gaming, music, brand partnerships, touring, licensing and TV/film space,' according to PRNewswire.
Earlier this year, Snoop talked about his growing family and how he gets lots of joy from his grandchildren.
'I have a total of 12 grandkids,' he revealed during an appearance on The Jennifer Hudson Show. 'And they're different ages, ranges, sizes and I love them all the same way.'
Like most relationships, it hasn't all been smooth sailing for Snoop and Broadus, who briefly split in 2004, but ultimately reunited and eventually renewed their vows four years later in 2008.
'I thought I was the man, and I was willing to give up what I had at home for that until I realized that what I had at home was irreplaceable,' the 17-time Grammy Award nominee confessed to People of their reconciliation.
